Playing with Styles—Operations While Performing
The word “articulation” in music usually refers to the transition or continuity between
notes. This is often reflected in specific performance techniques, such as staccato, legato
and slur.
The Super Articulation Voices (S.Art Voices) enable you to create subtle, very realistic
expressive nuances, simply by how you play. The Voice type (S.Art) is indicated above the
name of Super Articulation Voices, on the Voice Selection display.
Automatic articulation effects of Super Articulation Voices
S.Art Voices
The S.Art Voices provide many benefits with great playability and expressive real-time control.
Example: Saxophone Voice
If you play a C note and then an adjacent D in a very legato way, you will hear the note
change seamlessly, as though a saxophone player played it in a single breath.
Example: Concert Guitar Voice
If you play a C note and then the E just above in a very legato but firm way, the pitch
slides up from C to E.
Playing and Controlling Super Articulation Voices
The applied articulation effect differs
depending on the selected Voice. For
details, refer to the Data List on the
website.
NOTE
You can also add articulation sounds manually by using the functions “Articulation 1–2” when the Voice has the correspond-
ing sounds. These functions can be assigned to the ASSIGNABLE buttons, the [ROTARY SP/ASSIGNABLE] button, or the
foot pedals. (pages 57, 94)
